Diddy Protecting His 5th Amendment Rights To Not Incriminate Himself As Trial Approaches

By: Grouchy Greg Watkins (@GrouchyGreg)Category: Exclusives

Sean “Diddy” Combs is moving to shield himself from self-incrimination as he battles over 60 civil lawsuits and a looming federal criminal trial in New York.

The Hip-Hop mogul, facing serious charges including racketeering, sex trafficking and interstate domestic violence, has asked a judge to freeze civil proceedings like the one brought by Joi Dickerson-Neal until after his criminal case concludes.

Diddy’s legal team filed a motion arguing that continuing civil discovery now would force him into a dangerous legal corner where answering questions could jeopardize his defense in the criminal trial.

The Fifth Amendment protects individuals from being compelled to testify against themselves and Diddy appears ready to invoke it if necessary.

The request stems from a civil lawsuit filed by Dickerson-Neal, who accuses Diddy of drugging and sexually assaulting her during a 1991 date while she was a Syracuse University student.

According to her complaint, Diddy allegedly spiked her drink at a Harlem restaurant, leaving her unable to walk or stand.

She claims he videotaped the assault and shared the footage within the music industry, including with Jodeci member Davante Swing, who allegedly told her “everyone” had seen it.

Her claims include sexual assault, “revenge p###,” emotional distress and violations of the state’s gender-motivated violence law.

Diddy’s attorneys have moved to dismiss parts of the lawsuit, arguing that laws related to revenge p### and sex trafficking did not exist in 1991.

Meanwhile, Diddy’s criminal case will begin May 5, 2025 and is expected to last at least nine weeks.

Slim Thug Calls On Deion Sanders To Create “New NFL” After Draft Controversy

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Slim Thug unleashed a bold call for change, urging Deion Sanders and retired Black NFL players to launch a “new NFL” after Shedeur Sanders’ controversial draft slide to the Cleveland Browns at pick No. 144.

The Houston Hip-Hop veteran did not mince words as he criticized the NFL’s handling of Shedeur, who had been projected as a first-round talent but plummeted to the fifth round.

Slim Thug said the situation revealed deeper systemic problems within the league’s structure.

“Black men, never put your hands, put your life in the hands of a white man, the same people who enslaved you don’t make no sense, kid,” he said.

Slim Thug pointed to Deion Sanders’ coaching success at Jackson State and Colorado as proof that building something powerful outside the NFL is possible.

Sanders’ coaching record speaks for itself.

At Jackson State, he led the Tigers to a 27-5 record and two SWAC titles between 2020 and 2022. After taking over a struggling Colorado program, Sanders turned the Buffaloes around with a 9-3 record in 2024, tying for first place in the Big 12.

“Of course, we can’t jump out and be as successful as the NFL in one year…just like he [Deion Sanders] showed what he could do with Jackson [State Tigers]. Just like he showed what he could do with Colorado Colorado [Buffaloes]. We need Deion to start a new NFL”

Shedeur’s unexpected fall in the draft has stirred intense debate across sports media.

Stephen A. Smith compared the situation to Colin Kaepernick’s banishment from the league, while some critics suggested nepotism concerns surrounding Deion Sanders played a role.

Others, including former Rep. Jamaal Bowman argued race was a factor.

“The NFL doesn’t like Shaduer Sanders because he wears gold chains and talks like a rapper. They don’t care that he’s a leader, intelligent, tough and completed 77% of his passes with no o line and no running game,” Bowman said. “America continues to fear strong black men who come from means and have a strong sense of themselves without submitting to the ‘dominant’ culture.”

Slim Thug, who has long advocated for Black economic independence, doubled down on his belief that wealthy former players could create a rival league.

“Once you got no Black owners in the NFL and 80% of the NFL is Black, it’s a problem..so of course they can get together and do s### like this,” Slim Thug said.

Kim Kardashian Robbery Suspect Dead Just As Trial Begins- Raising Questions

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Kim Kardashian’s long-awaited Paris robbery trial took a dramatic turn after key suspect Marceau Baum Gertner died unexpectedly last month, just weeks before proceedings were set to begin in France.

Gertner, a reputed “super fence” with deep ties to Paris’s criminal underworld, was one of 10 defendants accused of orchestrating the 2016 armed robbery that left Kardashian bound and terrified inside her luxury suite at Hôtel de Pourtalès during Paris Fashion Week.

His death on March 6, described by sources as “unexpected,” came amid reports he had received death threats from criminal gangs connected to the case.

The official cause of death has not been made public.

The trial, scheduled to open Monday (April 28) and run through May 23, will proceed without Gertner, but his absence leaves a significant gap in the prosecution’s case.

The group of defendants, some nicknamed the “grandpa robbers” due to their advanced ages, includes 71-year-old Yunice Abbas, who has already indicated plans to admit involvement and apologize.

Kardashian, who is expected to testify in person, will recount the harrowing night of October 3, 2016, when masked men posing as police officers forced their way into her suite, threatened the concierge at gunpoint and stole $6 million worth of jewels.

During the robbery, Kardashian was tied up with plastic ties and tape, placed in a bathtub and feared for her life, believing she might be raped or killed.

Investigators believe the robbers knew her bodyguard was absent at the time, fueling theories of an inside job.

Among the stolen items was her $4 million 18.88-carat diamond engagement ring from Kanye West, along with a Louis Vuitton jewelry box filled with Cartier bracelets, a Jacob necklace and other high-end pieces.

Only a diamond-encrusted cross has been recovered.

Following the attack, Kim Kardashian overhauled her security measures and has spoken publicly about the lasting trauma.

The trial is expected to shed new light on the planning and execution of one of the most infamous celebrity crimes in recent memory.

Renowned for collaborations with heavyweights like J. Cole, DMX, Busta Rhymes, and Future, Trae’s partnership with Vory signals a meaningful connection between Hip-Hop generations. His work on “The Gathering” highlights his ongoing dedication to uplifting new voices while honoring his Houston roots.

Fans can expect “The Gathering” to deliver a potent mix of veteran lyricism and fresh energy, paving the way for the full release of Angel on June 13, 2025.

More on Trae:

Daddy Yankee Seeks To Escape Business Dealings With Ex-Wife In $100M Business Split

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Daddy Yankee filed a court petition in Puerto Rico to officially sever business ties with his ex-wife, Mireddys González Castellanos.

His legal team described a “deep personal differences” and a “complete lack of communication and information, which makes it impossible to continue any joint commercial operations.”

The reggaeton icon seeks to dissolve several companies he once co-managed with Castellanos, some of which she allegedly still controls. Others have already been shut down.

The move comes just months after the former couple finalized their divorce in February, ending a 30-year marriage that doubled as a long-term business partnership.

Their professional relationship began to unravel late last year when Rodríguez removed Castellanos from her managerial role in December, citing alleged financial irregularities.

In March, Rodríguez escalated the conflict by suing Castellanos and her sister, Ayeicha González Castellanos, accusing them of financial misconduct and defamation. The lawsuit claims the pair improperly withdrew $100 million from his companies’ accounts.

Rodríguez’s attorneys told the court they want to close the remaining joint ventures “in a structured and legal manner, as there is no longer a foundation of trust or communication to support them.”

Karlie Redd Hires President Trump’s Lawyer As Burglary Charge Battle Ramps Up

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Karlie Redd has tapped heavyweight attorney Steve Sadow to fight her first-degree burglary charge in DeKalb County, Georgia, after allegedly breaking into her estranged husband’s home during a messy divorce.

Redd turned herself in on April 22, 2025, after police accused her of unlawfully entering Teleau “T Divinci” Belton’s residence and taking personal items, including a watch, a birth certificate and a card.

She was released the same day after posting a $15,000 bond.

Sadow has built a reputation representing President Donald Trump and Hip-Hop stars like T.I. and Gunna in high-stakes cases. He said the situation is far from what it seems.

“The warrant taken out on April 4 alleges Karlie’s husband is the claimed ‘victim.’ As everyone knows, Karlie and her husband are in the midst of a divorce proceeding, and her husband has previously been charged in Fulton County with family violence battery against her,” Sadow said in a statement.

It remains unclear whether Redd and Belton directly interacted during the alleged break-in.

However, a judge has since issued a court order barring Redd from contacting Belton outside of divorce-related matters. Steve Sadow’s involvement signals Redd’s intent to mount a serious defense.

The Atlanta-based lawyer recently led President Trump’s defense in Georgia’s election interference case, where he successfully got multiple charges dismissed by arguing they infringed on Trump’s First Amendment rights.

Although Trump still faces eight charges, Sadow’s courtroom victories have been notable.

Beyond politics, Sadow’s client list reads like a Hip-Hop Hall of Fame. He has defended Rick Ross, Ty Dolla $ign, and R&B singer Usher.

Sadow said he is confident Karlie Redd’s case will be resolved favorably.

Rihanna Threatens To Fire Fenty Beauty Employees Over GloRilla During Quirky FaceTime

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: Rumors

Rihanna and GloRilla have given fans a taste of the type of electric energy that their partnership is going to bring to the Fenty Beauty brand.

On Friday (April 25), Riri and Big Glo went viral on social media after fans got ahold of a video from their FaceTime call during the Memphis rapper’s photoshoot for her upcoming campaign with the brand. In addition to exchanging pleasantries with each other, Rihanna and GloRilla both proceeded to effortlessly aura farm as their natural charisma’s bounced off each other and lit up the room.

“I want her campaign the Memphis way,” Rihanna instructed workers before jumping on the line with GloRilla.

“I appreciate you for having me, you know I love you,” GloRilla said while greeting RiRi.

From that point on, Rihana and GloRilla took turns stealing the spotlight as they playfully yanked each other’s, and RiRi’s employees’ chains purely for giggles.

“You having fun?” Rihanna asked GloRilla before immediately following up, “If not, DM me because I’m going to fire all them hoes!”

Rihanna then proceed to press GloRilla to provide her signature Memphis-bred vernacular, asking the “Yeah Glo!” rapper, “How are you going to say my brand name?”

GloRilla replied, “I’m trying not to say beauty because I knew that’s what you were trying to get me to do.”

However, Rihanna insisted, “No, just say beauty,” egging the Create Music Group star to lean into her one-of-a-kind Southern drawl.

While the details of the campaign are still under wraps, it’s refreshing to see Rihanna and GloRilla building their bond after all of the praise and support the pair gave each other last year. In October 2024, Rihanna called on GloRilla to create a SavageXFenty theme song while also giving her the well-deserved flowers she’s earned for remaining grounded during her come-up. Not to mention, back in 2023, GloRilla revealed she wanted to model her career after the “Diamonds” hitmaker.

Tina Knowles Finally Addressed That Beyoncé Pregnancy Theory

By: Mike WinslowCategory: AHHplus

Tina Knowles didn’t hold back while promoting her new memoir Matriarch, calling out long-standing rumors that Beyoncé faked her first pregnancy as “disgusting” and “painful” during a recent interview with People.

The fashion entrepreneur and mother of the global superstar addressed the decade-old conspiracy theory that took off in 2011 after Beyoncé’s appearance on an Australian talk show.

The way her dress folded led some to question whether she was actually pregnant. At the time, Beyoncé’s publicist dismissed the speculation as “stupid, ridiculous, and false.”

Now, Knowles is speaking for herself.

“Babies and children are so precious and so sacred,” she said. “To hear people say the most horrendous things and to call my whole family a lie, because we would all have to be part of that conspiracy and lie about something so sacred.”

Knowles revealed that Beyoncé had urged her not to respond publicly when the rumors first surfaced.

“My daughter was saying, ‘No, you’re going to make the story bigger,'” she said. “But it didn’t go away for a long time. It’s one of the most painful things for me, that people could be that disgusting.”

She described the experience as “one of the worst times in my life because I couldn’t say anything.”

Knowles, 71, also reflected on the emotional toll of public scrutiny and falsehoods, saying, “I deal with lies all the time. I’m dealing with lies now, that I’m having, like, an invisible zipper at my mouth to talk about things now because there’s always these crazy rumors that are out there and people just get to lie and they don’t have to suffer any consequences, you know, it is very sad.”

Beyoncé gave birth to Blue Ivy Carter in January 2012 and welcomed twins Rumi and Sir in 2017.

Matriarch is available now.

SIGNS: Federal Judge Arrested For Allegedly Helping Undocumented Immigrant Flea ICE

By: Devon JeffersonCategory: AHHplus

A prominent Milwaukee County judge was arrested on April 25 after being accused of helping an undocumented immigrant evade arrest by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents inside the courthouse.

On Friday (April 25), a report from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel revealed Judge Hannah Dugan, 65, faces multiple felony charges including obstructing a federal agency and concealing a person from arrest. The charges stem from an incident on April 18, when Dugan presided over a pretrial hearing for Eduardo Flores-Ruiz—a 35-year-old undocumented immigrant from Mexico. Flores-Ruiz, who has lived in Milwaukee for more than a decade and worked as a cook, was facing three misdemeanor battery charges related to a domestic incident involving two roommates.

According to a 13-page federal complaint, ICE agents had secured an arrest warrant for Flores-Ruiz the day before his court appearance. On the morning of the hearing, six plainclothes members of the ICE task force, joined by FBI and DEA agents, informed Dugan’s courtroom bailiff they would arrest Flores-Ruiz after the proceeding.

What followed was an unusual courtroom altercation. The complaint alleges that Judge Dugan, after being informed of the agents’ presence, called the situation “absurd” left the bench and returned visibly upset. She reportedly told the federal team their administrative warrant was not sufficient and insisted they take the matter to Chief Judge Carl Ashley.

Witnesses said Dugan then expedited the hearing and “forcefully motioned” for Flores-Ruiz and his lawyer to exit through a side door leading to a hallway and the courthouse’s public area. Minutes later, federal agents chased Flores-Ruiz down and arrested him near the intersection of West State Street and North 10th Street. He has since been charged federally with illegal re-entry and remains in ICE custody at Dodge Detention Facility.

Judge Dugan’s attorney, Steve Biskupic, said the judge will “vigorously defend herself” against what he described as an unjust arrest. He noted Dugan’s long-standing commitment to due process and said she looks forward to being exonerated.

Her arrest has sparked national attention and political outrage. Critics of the Trump-era immigration policy, including Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson, described the arrest as excessive and politically motivated.

“If a judge is being arrested in a courthouse, just imagine the chilling effect that it sends to other folks who would otherwise participate in judicial proceedings in our courthouse – and not just in the Milwaukee County Courthouse, but courthouses across the state of Wisconsin and courthouses across the United States,” Johnson said.

Meanwhile, conservative lawmakers applauded the action, framing it as a message to public officials not to obstruct immigration enforcement.

India Royale Defends Relationship With Lil Durk, Blasts Men For Not Going To “War” Anymore

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

India Royale wasted no time shutting down reports of cheating on Lil Durk after a video showing her hand on another man’s lap at a party exploded across social media over the weekend.

Court documents and insider reports have suggested the two secretly tied the knot before Durk’s October 2024 arrest, though neither has officially confirmed the marriage.

Still, she hopped on a livestream to clear the air as fans pointed out that the man was her best friend, Ant.

“Do y’all remember when men used to like, lay concrete, change tires, go to war?” she said. “Now these n##### on the internet gossiping all day. Like, what’s happening?”

The viral moment comes as India Royale continues to publicly back Lil Durk, who is currently facing serious federal charges tied to an alleged murder-for-hire plot.

Since Durk’s incarceration, Royale has been a consistent presence at his court hearings, showing unwavering loyalty.

She has previously denied any claims of infidelity, standing by Durk as he faces the possibility of life in prison or even the death penalty.

Prosecutors allege Durk orchestrated a 2022 ambush in Los Angeles targeting rapper Quando Rondo, resulting in the death of Rondo’s cousin, Lul Pab, as retaliation for King Von’s 2020 killing.

Lil Durk’s next major court date is set for May 8, when a federal judge will review a proposed $2.05 million bail package that includes $900,000 in real estate assets, $1 million in cash from Alamo Records and around-the-clock private security.

Durk has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Snoop Dogg Making Comeback To “The Voice”

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Snoop Dogg is heading back to the red chair on The Voice this fall as NBC confirmed the Hip-Hop icon will return as a coach for Season 28 while also locking in a multi-year deal with NBCUniversal for his production company, Death Row Pictures.

The West Coast legend first joined the singing competition in Season 26, mentoring alongside Michael Bublé, Gwen Stefani and Reba McEntire.

His debut run saw contestant Jeremy Beloate make it to the finale, ultimately placing fifth. Snoop did not return for Season 27, which featured John Legend, Adam Levine, Kelsea Ballerini, and Bublé.

NBC’s rotating coach format keeps the show fresh, with two seasons airing each year. Snoop is the first confirmed name for the upcoming season, which is set to premiere this fall.

His return comes as part of a broader partnership with NBCUniversal, where his production company will develop content across the network’s platforms.

Season 28 of The Voice is scheduled to air on NBC in fall 2024.

Fyre Festival Brand Up for Sale After Festival Flop

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Billy McFarland put the Fyre Festival brand up for sale on April 23 after canceling the second attempt at the infamous event in Mexico and issuing refunds to ticket holders.

The embattled founder, who served prison time for fraud tied to the original 2017 disaster in the Bahamas, said he’s stepping away from the brand entirely.

“This brand is bigger than any one person and bigger than what I’m able to lead on my own,” McFarland said in a statement on the festival’s website. “It’s a movement. And it deserves a team with the scale, experience, and infrastructure to realize its potential.”

The sale includes all Fyre Festival trademarks, intellectual property, digital assets, media reach and what McFarland called its “cultural capital.”

The announcement comes just one week after Fyre Festival 2, which had been scheduled for Mexico, was officially scrapped.

A post shared by FYRE FESTIVAL (@fyrefestival)

McFarland confirmed that refunds were issued to those who had purchased tickets.

“When my team and I launched FYRE Festival 2, it was about two things: finishing what I started and making things right,” McFarland said. “Over the past two years, we’ve poured everything into bringing FYRE back with honesty, transparency, relentless effort and creativity.

McFarland argued that Fyre still holds commercial weight despite the brand’s disastrous beginnings.

“FYRE is one of the most powerful attention engines in the world,” he said. “Since 2017, FYRE has dominated headlines, documentaries, and conversations as one of the world’s most talked-about music festivals.”

McFarland said the decision to sell was driven by the need for more capable leadership.

“We have decided the best way to accomplish our goals is to sell the FYRE Festival brand,” he said, citing a vision for the brand to expand into “entertainment, media, fashion, CPG, and more.”

He also revealed that several Caribbean nations had expressed interest in hosting a future version of the festival.

“We dove into the process—meeting with national officials, conducting site visits—and we’re confident we’ve found the ideal location for the festival,” McFarland said.

However, he added that he didn’t want to risk another collapse like the one in Playa del Carmen, where Fyre Festival 2 was initially planned.

“It’s clear that I need to step back and allow a new team to move forward independently.”

McFarland, who was convicted of wire fraud in 2018 and sentenced to six years in prison, has been attempting to rebuild the Fyre brand since his release.

He said he’s committed to continuing restitution payments to those impacted by the original festival.

“Giving control of the brand to a new group is the most responsible way to follow through on what we set out to do: build a global entertainment brand, host a safe and legendary event, and continue to pay restitution to those who are owed from the first festival.”

He ended his statement by thanking those who supported the relaunch.

“To the supporters, believers, and builders who’ve stuck with my team and me: thank you,” he said. “The next chapter of FYRE will be bigger, better, and built to last without me at the helm.”

Lil Kim’s 25-Year Old Ex Claims She’s Holding His Music Hostage

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

What a mess!

The ageism in Hip-Hop is taking over and now, Lil Kim is caught up in it. This isn’t a Shannon Sharpe situation, but there seem to be some similarities. Lil Kim has seemingly had a thing for younger men for quite a while.

I’m not judging her for that at all. Basically…who cares? I don’t care personally, but the young man in question cares. Why? This is where it gets diabolical. Apparently, she signed Tayy Brown, the young man she was dating to a record deal. That is a no-no.

Tayy is not holding back.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Onsite!® (@its_onsite)

Tayy is half her age, rounding out at 25 years old. Allegedly, after being in a relationship with Kim, he had a baby with someone else. That did not go over well with the Queen Bee, according to him. The video he posted talks about it, saying she’s mad he had a baby. As fate would have it, Kim has allegedly kept all of his music and is not giving it back to him. Again, his words.

Now, who has ownership of this music? That is the question. This is a business. If she was paying for the studio time or if the paperwork says she owns the masters, she may be entitled to the music.

But the way he’s painting the picture, Kim is a vindictive ex-sugar mama, who got upset with him and is now preventing him from making a living. This whole thing is silly if you ask me. Paperwork is paperwork, and lawyers are retained to lawyer. Get on the phone with him and handle business.

Check out the video below, when things were good between Kim and Tayy.

The way I see it, Kim has to address this at some point. If she does not do it publicly, she will definitely have to do it quietly. To me, she is punishing my dude. At the same time, my boy should have known better. You cannot sleep with the boss’s wife or the boss.

Kim is a sweet woman by all the data I have amassed, but I am sure if you upset her, she can offer up the wrath if needed.

I apologize for talking in circles over something so trivial. As soon as he called Kim “bro,” I should have known it would devolve into crap.

Kanye West Claims Playboi Carti Was Armed & Ready For Confrontation

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Kanye West dropped a bombshell during a Twitch livestream when he accused Playboi Carti of pulling up to his Los Angeles hotel, the Chateau Marmont, armed with a gun over their escalating feud.

West, speaking bluntly to viewers, recalled the tense moment, saying, “This n#### told me he was at the Chateau [Marmont] with a gun, n####. What that mean, n####? And the n#### say he don’t be on the Internet. It’s like, if you don’t be on the Internet, what are we talking about, then? I ain’t say nothing, then.”

The accusation surfaced as tensions between the two rappers continued to boil following the March 14 release of Carti’s album, MUSIC, which allegedly cut Kanye’s vocals without warning.

‌

West has since accused Carti of betraying him creatively and copying his style, siding with his enemies, and even contacting Kim Kardashian to request vocals from Kanye’s daughter, North West, for a song — a move Kanye publicly condemned.

In a heated March 2025 post, Kanye slammed Carti, writing, “CARTI YOU A CHILD YOU FAKE DARK I BEEN IN THIS S### 30 YEARS AND I SEEN AND KNOW WHAT IT REALLY IS I AM THE DON I AM THE LEADER THIS CARTI S### IS THE FINAL HEARTBREAK I CAN DEAL WITH CARTI IF NORTH WAS YOUR NIECE YOU WOULDN’T LET HER GET TRAFFICKED ALL THIS S### IS ABOUT CLOUT FOR ALL YALL THESE MY REAL KIDS.”

Adding fuel to the fire, in a social media post, Kanye claimed Carti told him he was “the worst enemy to have”, punctuated with laughing emojis.

Kanye also took a swipe at Kendrick Lamar’s guest appearance on MUSIC, posting, “I DIDNT NEED TO HEAR HIM ON CARTI ALBUM.”

Playboi Carti has not publicly addressed the gun allegation or any of Kanye’s other claims.

Kanye’s Twitch stream, where he aired these grievances, was cut short after about 10 minutes when he was banned from the platform, reportedly for performing a Nazi salute.

Dody 6 Apologizes To Kendrick Lamar After “GNX” Meltdown

By: Houston WilliamsCategory: Rumors

Dody 6 found himself drowning in drama this week. Homie is featured on Kendrick Lamar’s latest album, GNX, which is a great look. Instead of riding high off what should have been the greatest opportunity of his career, Dody 6 aired out his life. And sadly, decided to disrespect Kendrick in the process.

It aged like already sour milk. Dody 6 took to the internet to call the Compton legend a “B-word” and announce that he was currently homeless. Let’s pause there.

Kendrick Lamar just gave this man a life-altering, lottery-like moment and this is the thanks he gets? This is how he responded? Kendrick was never supposed to be the sail on his boat. He just gave him the wind. It was always going to be up to Dody 6 to steer his own ship. Was he supposed to buy him a house?

Maybe a few real ones pulled him aside for a reality check and Dody 6 realized the error of his ways. He has issued a public apology to Kendrick Lamar.

What was he thinking? Kendrick Lamar is one of the most powerful forces in Hip-Hop right now. Instead of building on the momentum, Dody 6 chose chaos. Opportunities like that are rare. I wish he’d called somebody to vent instead of putting it on the internet.

It seems like the newer generation confuses internet antics for strategy. Kendrick was not the problem.

Check out Dody 6’s apology below and sound off in the comments. Did he mess up for good or can he still bounce back? Weigh in.

Charleston White Eviscerates Shannon Sharpe, Evokes Jesus & Gives Shocking Advice

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

Charleston White unleashed a blistering critique of Shannon Sharpe and his $50 million sexual assault lawsuit in a raw video posted online, dragging the NFL Hall of Famer’s legal troubles into the spotlight while offering his own controversial life advice.

White, never one to hold back, tore into Sharpe’s character.

“I got to get on Shannon Sharp’s ass now. Now, for one, he too mean to the b######. I already knew he way too mean to the b######,” Charleston White said.

His remarks came after Sharpe was hit with a civil suit accusing him of sexual assault, battery and secretly recording intimate encounters without consent.

The lawsuit, filed by a woman identified as “Jane Doe,” claims Sharpe violently assaulted her during two separate incidents in October 2024 and January 2025, ignoring her pleas to stop. The woman alleges they had a rocky two-year relationship that spiraled into threats and abuse.

Sharpe has firmly denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit a “shakedown” and accusing the plaintiff’s attorney, Tony Buzbee, of orchestrating a “blatant set-up.”

In response to the accusations, Sharpe temporarily stepped away from his ESPN duties, with the network backing his decision, saying they “agree with Shannon’s choice to step aside.”

White, meanwhile, didn’t hold back on what he thought led to Sharpe’s predicament.

“That’s why I stay at the strip club f###### with real hoes. When you dealing with hoes and prostitutes, you ain’t got the problems. You dealing with these little b###### just trying to hit a lick,” White said, suggesting that Sharpe’s alleged involvement with young women was a recipe for disaster.

Adding fuel to the fire, Sharpe released explicit text messages between himself and the accuser, claiming Buzbee planned to release manipulated footage to tarnish his reputation.

Buzbee, however, alleges that Sharpe offered a $10 million settlement to make the lawsuit disappear — an offer the plaintiff reportedly rejected.

White continued his rant, criticizing Sharpe’s alleged choice of partners.

“You dealing with a young 20-year-old conniving manipulative low-down white b####. I’m talking about a dirty funky h####. You outta know better Shannon. Boy, I ain’t f##### a white girl about 15, 20 years. When I do f### a white girl, she going to be a hoe. What a bonafide hoe. A stomp down hoe.”

White wrapped his tirade by invoking religion in a way only he could, saying, “See this why I’d be in the strip club having fun with them hoes cuz Jesus kept a hoe named Mary Mack. Hoe got to walk with Jesus and his 12 disciples. A b#### didn’t get to hang out with the savior. Only a hoe did.”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Halle Berry embraced Hip-Hop’s admiration for her beauty and elegance this week by thanking artists for decades of lyrical shout-outs in a heartfelt social media post.

The conversation began when a user messaged Berry, saying, “Halle Berry may be the most rapped about woman in history. Imagine being that fine.”

The Oscar-winning actress replied to her official X account, “and I appreciate each rap song reference. what are you guys’ favorite?”

Did “Daredevil: Born Again” Flop Or Are There Racists Hating On “Progressive” Marvel?

First of all, Daredevil: Born Again was amazing. The show, which recently had a grand finale, was a true treat to watch. Fans of the original series, a product of Netflix, felt sustained and satisfied. But, now we have to deal with the reality of ratings.

Daredevil and Disney+ could be biggest Marvel’s biggest misfire ever.  This is not rooted in the creative, but the Nielsen. The Born Again reboot did not even crack the Nielsen ratings charts, according to recent reports. They charge not one single episode has made the ratings cut. Before we dig a bit deeper, let us compare and contrast.

Meanwhile, Hulu’s Good American Family, a complete different platform, managed to clock 344 million minutes. Daredevil would’ve needed about 172 million minutes per episode. It didn’t even get close to the Nielsen Top 10. Yikes.

Disney+ automatically registers with Nielsen’s tracking systems, also an industry standard. Disney’s got inroads to Samba TV too, but those numbers have not come in for Daredevil: Born Again. There is still some serious hope.

Marvel die-hards are out there and the critics are feeling that this is thee show. Could the rest of the city but jumping the bandwagon late? Not likely, based on traditional thought. Nielsen’s method accounts for total series views, so if Born Again had a binge momentum, we’d see it. Still there is hope! The overall Rotten Tomatoes ratings are through the roof.

There is already a Season 2 of Born Again announced, which will continue to develop The Punisher, Ms. Marvel, Bullseye and other characters that began to emerge. And, be clear: they have already started shooting and they have already announced March 2026 has the date. I am here for it.

Kevin Feige, we got this!

Disney+ may have a long range issue, and Season 2 of Daredevil is probably part of the long range solution. Bluey — the Australian cartoon juggernaut – is great and all, but DD is the gift that keeps on giving. We are not too concerned with Moana 2 or whatever else they say will save the platform.

When Marvel rolled out Disney+ shows, Feige promised “movie-quality” MCU storytelling. Daredevil: Born Again is that good look that we’ve come to know and love about the franchise. Some wack jobs have tried to accuse the show of having an “agenda,” we the people say “GTFOHWTBS.” Was there an agenda when police officers adopted the Punisher logo to justify their brutality? The Disney double down is appreciated.

Haters are gonna hate, racists are going to bait, but we’re going to move forward.

Up next? Ironheart, Wonder Man, Thunderbolts and the much-hyped Fantastic Four reboot have us cautiously hopeful. Captain America: Brave New World spoke volumes at the box office. How will these others fare? We’ll soon see.

Marvel has us drooling at the sight of  Avengers: Doomsday, but Daredevil and other shows maybe taking the heat for overall burnout. When that happens, sometimes you just have to sit still, ride it out until the AC kicks in.

Kanye West, Pope Francis & Donald Trump Created Classic Conspiracy Collision

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

Hear me out here. We have to keep our eyes and ears open. There was nothing but Pope coverage for the last few days and then there was Kanye West. These are the times when people take advantage and use the diversion to do just about anything when we are looking the other way. Be clear: when something monumental takes over the headlines, something else often slides under the radar.

The Pope Dying Is More Than Just a Catholic Thing

The first Latino pope in history is gone, dying on Easter Monday (April 21). That alone is huge. May he rest well. This pope was a symbolic giant in global religion, politics and also a moral authority. Whether you were tuned into Vatican vibes or not, his existence meant something globally. His death? Even more so. We saw non-stop tributes, retrospectives and a funeral broadcasted like the Super Bowl. That wall-to-wall coverage was there. And while CNN and BBC lineed up a thousand talking heads to explain Vatican traditions, a few important things might be slipping through without our collective gaze.

EXCLUSIVE: Big U Says “Orange Man” President Trump Could Get RICO Charges Dropped

The Kanye Diversion

Ye. The man, the myth, the meme. When in doubt, bring out the MAGA hat, cryptic tweets, wild fashion, social media scrubbing or a surprise drop. This week, he decided to tell everybody he “performed” on his own cousin. Oh, got you. Right as the pope passes.

Kanye is walking, talking chaos. People keep trying to figure out his marriage status, why he’s trolling or why he’s wearing a KKK robe. We need to be focusing on the legislation, wars, coups, executive orders or drone strikes. I’m hearing about that right now. I admit I don’t see anything, but I wouldn’t doubt it exists somewhere in the world. Trump actually did a a crazy move recently. I suspect he wants to outshine the fact that China is sonning him like crazy. Read up on some of that here.

And now we have the Shannon Sharpe debacle.

What Should We Be Looking For?

  • International Politics: Keep an eye on the Middle East (always), but also Eastern Europe. Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan—conflict escalation could be taking shape while global eyes are glued elsewhere.
  • Executive Orders in the U.S.: Has the President signed anything monumental while we’ve been emotionally preoccupied? Look at the Federal Register. Quiet policy changes on climate, surveillance, immigration, or education tend to get dropped when the press is distracted.
  • Corporate Announcements: Mergers, layoffs, and billion-dollar deals often get “Friday news dumped” during big news cycles. And weekends following huge global events? Prime time for releasing bad or controversial news.
  • Tech Moves: Surveillance tech, TikTok bans, deepfake laws, crypto regulation. Crypto Bros gave more to Trumo than anybody else. Believe something is afoot.

Scream conspiracy just to be safe. Or better yet, whisper. The word is they are snatching people up.

Oh, by the way, China says Trump is lying.
